Why choose BCArchive?

There are many data compression software available online such as 7zip, then what sets the BCArchive application separate from others? The compressed files that you create with these applications do not provide a strong security when it is sent over the internet.

Even though BCArchive has a very simple user interface, but when it comes to sending the compressed data over the internet, it is very safe and secure.

If you want to back up some files and folders on your computer, you can add to the BCArchive and specify a password to encrypt it.  The same password can be entered to decrypt the archive.

Instead of typing the password to encrypt and decrypt data, BCArchive allows you to do the same by entering a public key (a secret key that is known to the sender and the recipient).

This strong built-in encryption means that you do not need to use a separate file encryption software to encrypt zipped files.

Here are the features of BCArchive:

  1. It is a free data compression application that provides powerful security to the created archives.
  2. You can compress files and folders into a single file and encrypt it by adding a password.
  3. You can also compress files and folders into a single file and encrypt it by using a secret key (also known as public key).
  4. It allows you to add many passwords to the existing archive.
  5. It also lets you add several public keys to the existing archive.
  6. The compressed and encrypted data can be turned into a self-extracting file. You can extract the file any time without installing the BCArchive.

BCArchive is a very good option to securely zip and encrypt your data.
